SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the disconnect between technical codebase implementation and end-user understanding by automatically generating clear, helpful documentation that focuses on user goals rather than technical structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Code-to-Doc Translation: Analyzes source code to identify user-facing features and translates them into plain-language help articles.
  • UI Vocabulary Alignment: Scans the codebase for button labels, page titles, and UI strings to ensure the documentation uses the exact terminology the user sees on their screen.
  • Use Case: When a developer finishes a new feature like a complex "Closeout Flow," they can use this skill to instantly generate a draft help article that explains the feature to customers without using developer jargon like API, DTO, or schema.

Quick Start

Use the eli5-features skill to generate end-user documentation for the closeout flow feature by reading the relevant source code.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate plain-language user documentation from source code?

To generate plain-language user documentation from source code, analyze repository files like route handlers and UI labels to extract functional workflows, translating technical implementation into help articles for end users.

How does code-to-doc translation align help articles with UI terminology?

Code-to-doc translation aligns help articles with UI terminology by scanning the codebase for button labels and page titles, ensuring the generated user-facing documentation uses the exact vocabulary customers see on their screen.

Can I create onboarding content by analyzing codebase features automatically?

You can create onboarding content by analyzing codebase features automatically, reading source code to identify user-facing workflows and generating documentation that explains application functionality without relying on developer jargon.

What is the best way to write help articles for new features without using developer jargon?

The best way to write help articles without developer jargon is to extract functional workflows from source code and translate technical structures like schemas into user-friendly guides focused on customer goals and plain language.

Do I need access to repository source code to generate end-user feature guides?

You need access to the repository source code to generate end-user feature guides, because the documentation process requires reading source files to extract UI labels, route handlers, and functional workflows directly from the codebase.

Why does my automatically generated documentation still contain technical jargon like API or schema?

Automatically generated documentation contains technical jargon like API or schema when the code-to-doc translation process fails to isolate user-facing UI labels and instead maps internal technical structures directly into the help article text.
